What goes on in the mind of a serial killer as he prepares to commit his crime? What drives him to act? But first, is one born or made a serial killer? To find answers, a journalist embarked on a chilling investigation. Through her research, correspondence, and private meetings with murderers, she recounts her foray into this sordid world where fascination and horror intertwine. Free from any censorship, the killers' statements unfold, sometimes revealing traces of madness, the scars of a tragic past, or the reasoning of men who seem perfectly normal… Through these disturbing testimonies, psychiatrists, profiteers, and criminologists attempt to dissect and explain the personalities of those whom, at first glance, one can hardly call human. The result is a powerful and captivating work that takes you into the hearts and minds of men who committed the worst atrocities. Intense emotions guaranteed.
